So its no secret I love pretty much everything about Batman. The thing is though there is someone I truly admire and he is doing amazing things in regards to bringing the Bat right to me. Or at least the creative talent behind the comics, cartoons, everything.
Kevin Smith (The Director of Clerks, @ThatKevinSmith on Twitter) has been doing a Podcast called Fatman on Batman. I have to start by saying if you have ANY interest at all in Batman then you have to listen to this Podcast. It is truly epic in that it brings you everything you want to know about the World of Gotham.
What Kevin Smith does is truly awesome in the fact that he brings in such amazing talent and not only interviews them and talks about Batman. The thing is you get to hear how people got their starts in liking comics and Batman. To the point of how they break into "Batman". Hearing Mark Hamill explain his love for comics and how he never thought he would get cast as the Joker since he was Luke Skywalker. Hearing how Scott Snyder worked for Disney World as a "character" and this was to be his future. Listening to how Jim Lee's mom threw out his comic books when he was 13 years old. How Jims parents wanted him to be a doctor instead of an artist.
Kevin Smith just has this creative way to get to the root of the story. The best thing is; he is known for talking a lot in real life. Yet in these podcasts he actually lets the creator talk. He knows the right questions to ask and to hear him "geek out" at the same points I do it is truly epic.
The talent he has brought in to interview ranges from the cast of Batman the Animated Series, to Adam West (BATMAN HIMSELF!!) to Bat Writers Scott Snyder, Geoff Johns, and Jeph Loeb to DC Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee. (The list goes on...)
Kevin Smith will never read this, that much I am pretty sure about. Regardless though I want to say "thank you" to him for the simple fact that each week he brings an enjoyment to my life that I always craved as a teenager. To know all I do about the creators of Batman...I now have it and it truly is amazing!!
See you all next time...from the Batcave...
